For Climate Week at the American Museum of Natural History, I led the design of large-scale graphic interventions in the Hall of North American Mammals and the Hall of North American Forests. The project transformed classic dioramas with transparent vinyl overlays that revealed how a warming climate is reshaping the ecosystems depicted.

Working with curators and exhibition staff, I designed bold, attention-grabbing graphics that intentionally contrasted with the museum’s traditional aesthetic to create a sense of urgency. Through rapid prototyping, material testing, and observing visitor behavior, I refined each design to balance clarity, scale, and storytelling, helping visitors see these familiar scenes in an entirely new context.
